Pantone Unveils Two Colors Of The Year For 2016

This year PANTONE not one but two colors to represent the PANTONE Color of the Year for 2016 –The colors selected, based on trend analysis, emerging techniques and materials, guesswork, and marketing, are 15-3919 Serenity and 13-1520 Rose Quartz.

Their thoughts are that as the world is becoming more tolerant of gender equality and fluidity, that it naturally impacts the color trends happening throughout design everywhere. The two shades blend together but also pair up to evoke a feeling of tranquility and inner peace, which was what PANTONE was looking to achieve.
